Description

We present precision high statistics measurements of the primary cosmic rays Helium, Carbon, and Oxygen and the secondary cosmic rays Lithium, Beryllium and Boron by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer in the rigidity range from 2 GV to 3 TV, based on 150 billion cosmic ray events collected by AMS during the first 8.5 years of operation aboard the International Space Station. The properties of the He-C-O and Li-Be-B fluxes are discussed. Comparisons with other measurements are shown.
